How did he reach the conclusion that Hara Noda is a fictional character?

I read the whole piece and I couldn't find any evidence to support this assertion.



He did not, he says "Hara Noda seems to be a real person, working as a producer and drummer in Sweden" ... and then jumps to making claims about Sweden being some hotspot of off-brand cheap instant jazz. The article is easily misunderstand-able and quite insulting towards this one artist in particular as it can create the impression he is somehow involved in some scam.


then why did he insinuate that the artist is fictitious by casting doubts on the presumably inflated number of playbacks in the playlist?

I want my 5 mins back.


Perverse incentives, in house generic products promoted as name brands, etc, my typing finger hurts repeating myself, if you are genuinely baffled read the comments here and grok the actual complaint which is sufficiently defined here.
